+<P ALIGN=CENTER><B>Text formats</B></P>
+
+<P>When writing text in Moodle there are currently two formats you can choose
+   to produce your text.
+
+<P><B>Moodle auto-format</B></P>
+
+<UL>
+<P>This format is best for when you are using normal web forms for entry
+   (instead of the Richtext HTML editor).  Just type text normally, as if sending
+   and email (for example).
+
+<P>When you save your text, Moodle will do a number of things to automatically
+   format your text for you.  
+<P>For example, URLs such as 
+   <A HREF="http://yahoo.com/">http://yahoo.com</A> or even 
+   <A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com/">www.yahoo.com</A> will be turned into links.
+<P>Your line breaks will be retained, and blank lines will start new paragraphs.
+<P>Smiley characters such as :-) will automatically become their graphical equivalents.
+<P>You can even embed HTML code if you want to and it will be retained.
+<P ALIGN=RIGHT>Click <? helpbutton("text", get_string("helptext")) ?> for more details</P>
+</UL>
+
+<P><B>HTML format</B></P>
+
+<UL>
+<P>This format assumes the text is pure HTML.  If you are using the 
+   HTML editor to edit text then this is the default format - all 
+   the commands in the toolbar are producing HTML for you.
+
+<P>Even if you are not using the Richtext HTML editor, you can use HTML code 
+   in your text and it should come out exactly as you intended.
+
+<P>Unlike the Moodle auto-format, no automatic formatting is performed.
+<P ALIGN=RIGHT><? helpbutton("html", get_string("helphtml")) ?> More info about HTML</P>
+<P ALIGN=RIGHT><? helpbutton("richtext", get_string("helprichtext")) ?> More info about the Richtext HTML editor</P>
+</UL>
